This is so awesome! Thank you for showing the different methods, they are sooo helpful! I can't wait to try this myself and get the kids involved with the proccess of droping the balls into the oil! It is very relaxing and fun! 🤩😍😊

[@AveryRaassen]

I am glad you enjoyed the video. When making it with kids, just becareful that the liquid is rather hot when dropping it into the oil. Also, really depending on the liquid (acid based like Lemon, Orange, Pineapple, you will have to increase the gelatin and agar-agar because the acid will weaken the setting structure.

[@Lavenderrose73]

​@@AveryRaassenoh that's good to know. I'd probably just start off with berries or something that wouldn't have to worry about that with. The less acidic fruits would apparently be better for beginners.

[@javierarthurton8544]

This video is amazing and extremely well informed. Thank you so much i will do this for sure for my cocktails.

[@AveryRaassen]

I am glad you enjoyed it. Do let me know how they turn out. If you are doing acidic fruits like pineapple, kiwi, lemon, lime, boil the liquid on its own for 2 mins to kill of an enzyme that attacks the gelatine that prevents it from setting and you might have to use twice the amount of gelatine/ agar-agar depending on the consistency of the Caviar you are after.

Hey great video! I want to do this with lemon juice and some with grapefruit juice, but I know the high acid effects the firming. We only have gelatin powder and gelatin sheets, how would you recommend altering the method to adjust for this? Thanks a bunch

[@AveryRaassen]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It might be a case where the other method is need to combat the high acidic nature. I have tried Calcium Lactate and Sodium alginate in the past for even with mixed alcohol. I can understand that products may not be easily available. Pectin might work but I haven't tried that out, as in a combination of pectin and gelatin. Making like a firmer fruit jelly.

[@AveryRaassen]

Thank you for subscribing. You can most certainly do that with stock, however, be careful, you might not need agar-agar or gelatine depending on the concentration as beef stock and chicken will have a fair amount of gelatine. Fish and vegetable you will need the setting agent. You can also do this with alcohol and other things like balsamic vinegar or dressings, but also be careful regarding the acidity as this prevents the gelatine from setting properly.

Doubt is good because it is a sign of curiosity. These have a more jelly like consistency. They don't "pop" like the ones you are talking about as that is different method in making them. Those require different powders to set the outside while the middle is still liquid.

[@Sengion]

Great video! thank you for taking the time to make such an informative breakdown of this technique. I do have some questions which I’d love to have clarified. I hope it’s not too much of a bother. What’s the reasoning behind using both agar and gelatine? I feel like just agar should be sufficient. Does the added gelatine help it set better without getting the “dense” agar gel texture? I’m under the impression that “caviared” liquids are usually made through spherification, resulting in a liquid inside encapsulated in a thin membrane, reminiscent of actual caviar. In this case they’re essentially tiny gel spheres that are set all the way through, no? (That’s not to say this isn’t a great technique btw!) Does the first technique have any advantage over the frozen oil? It honestly seems more labour intensive, less consistent, and requires investing in the silicon moulds, so I don’t see a reason not to use the second method. Finally, any specific reason for storing them in a liquid afterwards? Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work :)

[@AveryRaassen]

Using both setting agents are to balance the texture. Gelatine being too soft and over use can be too bouncy and agar can be too brittle if under used and really really firm when over used. Yes, you perfectly worded it. Both methods I used "just" create tiny solid spheres. They don't "Pop" like caviar or caviar in molecular cuisine. The 1st method is great for larger spheres as dropping bigger sphere from a squeeze bottle or syringe can be difficult or even via a different kind of spoon. As for tiny caviars, the oil method is my favourite to get consist and uniform spheres. 2 reasons to store them in their "flavoured" liquid. 1. So that they don't "dry out" in the fridge and 2. When stored "floating in the liquid" or swimming in their own juice, they stay "individual" rather than stuck together. Makes for plating up a dessert or dish, easier when they aren't stuck or sticky. I hope these answers help in why I do what I do. Feel free to change them to suit your needs and situation. Have a great day.

Como el puré de mango para el caviar de mango o la esencia de fresa para el caviar de fresa. Además, puedes conservarlos en la nevera hasta 4 días. Si desea congelarlo, le sugiero que lo congele con el aceite para que pueda mantener la forma y luego puede congelarlo hasta por 3 meses.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The addition of both is because of texture. Agar alone will make it too firm but not enough gelatin will make not give it structure. Also, this recipe isn't for heavy acid based liquids like lime, lemon as the acid can breakdown gelatin and stopping the Caviar from forming perfectly.

You make this look so easy. My first attempt did not work. They formed balls in the oil, but after several were in there, they started to pop and merge. I am thinking that either I didn't use enough gelatin or my gelatin was too warm and the cold oil wasn't cold enough to set it completely. 🤔

[@matthewwisner2153]

@@AveryRaassen Thanks for the response. My second batch worked much better. I used gelatin packs instead of agar, because it's what my grocery store had. The ratio I ended up using the second time was two packs of gelatin (which I think is the same as two tablespoons) to 1 and a half cups of liquid. Another problem that I had is that my gelatin wasn't cooling quickly enough. It formed balls, but the bubbles burst later when I tried to rinse them. To fix this the second time, I waited until my juice was cooler, but still a liquid. Basically, under 90°F. I also put the container that had my cold oil in an ice bath while I used it to keep the oil from warming too much while forming my pearls. It worked beautifully.

Store it in the same liquid flavour of your choice without the setting agents. You can keep it for a good 3 to 5 days and check everyday after that. If you make a super large amount, freeze the caviar in the oil or enough to cover and then clean and then let soak in the same flavour liquid. These are not the popping caviar so you really wouldn't need to worry about it popping. I hope this helps.

Can you use pectin instead of agar agar? If so, do the quantity of any other ingredient change as well?

[@AveryRaassen]

Depends on the pectin. We have several different pectin here. Pectin Nappage, Pectin X58, Pectin Juane. Pectin Juane might be able to do the trick however it might set rather jelly like. This might need testing as Pectin Juane activates with an acid in the case of Citric Acid but an acid will corrupt the gelatine formation.

How long can you make this caviar ahead of the time you want to use it?

[@AveryRaassen]

Make even 4 days in advance. Or make it and keep in the freezer in the oil and then defrost in the flavour syrup that you made it with without the setting agents.

how long does it last if i keep it in simple syrup inside the fridge

[@AveryRaassen]

Make the simple syrup with the same flavour and it can be good for 4 days
